Hi Andy and Derek,
and any other D300 user, there is an ongoing thread on www.nikoncafe.com that if not already seen would be worth reading. It is in the D3/D300 sub forum and is penned by a Jim Fenton, a respected bird photographer and long time Nikon user, and relates to dead battery/focusing syndrome!! And yes, I do own a D300, so I am keeping my eye on it. regards Subzero.

Thanks Subzero - I am registered with Nikon Cafe now - interesting place - couldn't get a cup of coffee out of them however. I use the MB D10 with my D300 but I am not getting any problems at all - just about to start some more High ISO tests - I suggest people who are interested in D300 HIGH ISO look at the Abstracts I have just posted - these are all photographs of actual old prints of mine - None of them have been corrected for noise..

Hi Andy,
Yes it's for high iso (black cats in coal sheds), especially compared to some of the older Nikon digitals. I like the Lobsters at Sunset, very striking image, and good to see some old names from the past, F photomic and Nikkormat El (gone for ever). regards Subzero.

Time to add a little more - this time HIGH ISO. This shot from my gallery is a photograph of a print made in the 1979's by me. It is shot with the D300 at ISO 3200 - I have not used any noise reduction on it because all I can say is .... "What noise?"
http://www.worldphotographyforum.com...00&ppuser=2724 The sequence of five are similar shots of old prints ISO is either 1600 or 3200 - see exif - none of them had any noise reduction applied. Well done Nikon is all I can say.

I'm currently using a Nikon D50 but am thinking of upgrading to a D300, is this going to be to big a leap or should i go for it while i have the money? The majority of my photography is Motorsport but also trying a bit of landscape as well.

Hi Kenton, if you can, I would go for the D300 - it's follow focus and focus lock are superb. With the MB-d10 battery pack that can take an en-el4a battery you seem to get a good 9-11fps and the focus stays with it as long as you use good glass. Go for it - I'm sure you will not be disappointed. Derekb uses his for cycle road racing and gets brilliant results.
